Introduction of a noob

[kabuto 0]

I just want to say hi to you all and hope a get alone with most of the members ;-)

Regarding watches I’m actually a complete noob so I seeking some (a lot) of advice starting my luxury :-p replica watches.

I live in Europe (Belgium) so when importing, customs will be a real pain in the ass.

I already checked your trusted dealers list.

I’m still crawling the net and stores to see which watches I want to buy to start the collection.

Here’s already a list of watches of my likings:

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Gyrotourbillon

Rolex Datejust

Audemars Piguet AP

IWC BIG PILOT

Astbury skeleton

Chronoswiss Regulateur

Breitling SOH

UN Maxi Marine Diver

PAM 113

Chronoswiss Tora

A.Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk

Patek Philippe Nautilu

Swiss Legend Throttle Diamonds

Sea-gull m222s

Omega Speedmaster Professional

Patek Philippe Grand Complication

Hermes Autoquartz Nomade Compass

Any thoughts or other recommendations are welcome.

Cheers

welcome to the nuthouse kabuto!....damn, that's a big list. I hope your pockets are deeper

Welcome to RWG. Some of the watches you list will never be repped (JLC Gyrotourby being one of them), so beware of any sites that say they can get them!

 

Stick to the Trusted Dealers and you won't go far wrong - let us know if there's anything you need to know!

thanks for the quick replies mates

 

@dingleberry: if I start a collection, better to make a serious one

@greg r: I will start with the trusted dealers

 

In general I made a list, but the more I have a look, the more I want

Good point - yes, Narikaa should be your first port of call given that you're in Belgium. You shouldn't have any customs issues there as he ships from the UK.

Welcome and listen to the elders..

Good advice. Unfortunately my kid never listened to me. Still doesn't.

 

Welcome noob. You'll be an expert in 2 weeks.

 

Just ask Dingleberry. He had about a thousand posts by then.

@greg r: I will let you know if I'm ready for the T-shirt

 

I checked the dealers' list and Narikaas website.

The pictures and watches do look great of course and if the elders recommend them .... what can I say more

 

What worried me was the information concerning Narikaas stock:

"Carries varying stock of lower-end..."

 

What do you mean exactly by lower end (or is this question already answered in the newbie section so I will do a search on it)?

 

If I buy a replica, I want a "luxury" replica

 

But like said, I think this is a good place to start my experience

 

Thanks

He might mean cheaper versions of better replicas. Sometimes the lower end rep might just have a movement that is a cheaper version of the more expensive replica, but the replica itself looks and feels the same as the more expensive one, i.e., better movement (swiss). But, I agree it doesn't hurt to hear from the dealer him/herself.

That's it for now folks

Thank you all already

 

I will post my first experience to let you know

I think that it's more that because he goes on buying trips and brings home pretty large volumes, that he doesn't carry many of the ultra expensive reps such as AP, Hublot, high end Pams, etc. It doesn't mean that the quality of his reps are bad. And he has more of the Asian movements rather than the Swiss Eta kind.

 

They are all hand picked and quality controlled by him though. Nothing to worry about there.

Nothing wrong with an Asian 21j movement.............they have never given me the problems that A7750 s often do!
